SublimeText2-FTPSync

Simple and free plugin for FTP syncing. Just hit the save as usual and it's upped.

Recently new

• Rewritten core execution code for brevity and clarity
• Able to upload solely folders as well
• Full relative path in status bar
• Added protection from overwriting remote file by renaming
• AfterSaveWatch for uploading changed files

What's there for you?

• Multiple named upload targets
• Ignored file regex patterns
• Secure transfer using TLS
• Determining newer remote files, overwrite protection
• Manual multiple file & folder up/downloading (sidebar context menu)
• Local&remote renaming
• Progress bar for multiple up/download

Current focus:

• Downloading from selected location
• Safer downloading/uploading of files (tempfile)
• SFTP support (hopefully soon)

How to use

To mark a folder and descendants for upload insert ftpsync.settings file in following format. Don't worry - the skeleton can be simply inserted using Preferences > Package Settings > FTPSync > Setup FTPSync in this folder or using context menu in Side bar or using Control/CMD+Shift+P.

Format:

{
	<connection_name>: {
		host: {string},

		username: {null|string=null}, // null means anonymous manipulation
		password: {null|string=""},

		path: {string="/"}, // remote root for these files

        upload_on_save: true, // whether upload on save or manually
        download_on_open: false, // checks whether there's a newer remote file on opening a file
        overwrite_newer_prevention: true, // overwrite protection when remote file is newer
        upload_delay: {int=0}, // delays [seconds] upload triggered by upload_on_save

		port: {int=21}, // remote port, pretty much always 21, unless SFTP
		tls: {bool=false}, // set true to use secured transfer, recommended! (server needs to support)
        passive: {bool=true}, // whether to use passive or active connection
		timeout: {int=30}, // seconds to invalidate the cached connection
		ignore: {null|string}. // regular expression, matched against file path - not applied for downloading

        line_separator: {string=\n}. // line separator for text files used in your project, usually \n, can be \r\n

        after_save_watch: {null|list<list<subfolder, filepatter>>=null} // after save watch
        // example: [ [ "code/assets/css", "*.css" ], [ "code/assets/", "*.jpg, *.png, *.gif" ] ]
        // more in Wiki

	} //,
    // <connection2_name>: { ... }
}

Files are automatically uploaded on save (unless disabled by upload_on_save=false setting). In your newly created settings file some options are preceded with //, this means they are commented out (and default value from global settings file is used) - remove the // to enable the entry.

Tips

• Working from more places? Or in team?

You can either use download_on_open=true to check files upon openning or FTPSync: Check current file command to see whether you have the same version as is on all servers. Using overwrite_newer_prevention is also recommended (it's actually enabled by default).

• Upload different language versions to different servers of paths

    {
    	<connection_name>: {
    		host: "ftp.host.en.com",
    		ignore: "/locale/(?!fr)\\w+/.*"
    	},
    	<connection2_name>: {
    		host: "ftp.host.cz.com",
    		ignore: "/locale/(?!cz)\\w+/.*"
    	}
    }
  

• Using file compilation? Want to upload as well?

You can use after_save_watch option to setup files to be watched for change after uploading on save. Learn how to use in Wiki.
